17C is an application MOS, but can you reclass to 17C through the Army training reenlistment option?

Looking for more on the lines of not needing to drop an application packet

SFC Private RallyPoint Member is this possible. Thought I read one of your posts where it wasn't due to it being competitive application process.

Yes. Once you have an approved application. It’s an application MOS. You have to submit an application and get approved. Just like Ranger Regiment, SF, and 160th have selections, you have to be accepted to go there, there’s no such thing as re-enlisting for something you’re not qualified for.

Apply, get selected, re-enlist and await a PCS date. It’s a small community so chances are if there are attempts to “out maneuver” the system their name will become well known.

In terms of getting selected, make yourself stand out with experience, education, training, certifications, etc. This isn’t one of those “we’ll take anyone and train them” MOS’s. JCAC, Phase 2, and the clearance take a lot of time and money that the Army is willing to put into those that they deem a good investment.
